Re: ED K:..."Ford's stratedgy of steering away from crossovers seems more sound.I hope that at least one of them gets it right and then the other can follow suit."
Ford steered away from crossovers? Recently introduced were: Ford Edge / Lincoln MkX Ford Freestyle / Taurus X Ford Flex Lincoln crossover coming next month. All get 16 or less mpg.
To be fair and balanced, GM is full of garbage when they brag about 30mpg. That is EPA highway, which means 47mph average with no stops. Under those conditions, my overpowered guzzler can pull 22, and my Civic 42... 30 is no big deal.
Has GM changed its tune? When they eliminate the last of their 22-year old transmissions and put their lineup on a diet (5000lb wagon/crossovers that get 15mpg????), then I will accept that yes, they can change.
